The management of corpse care is a communal religious obligation that ideally should be mastered by all members of the community. However, in Dusun Cantelan RW 06, Ketandan Village, North Klaten District, this practice still relies on a small number of experienced individuals, particularly in the handling of female corpses. This community service activity aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, and confidence of local women's community groups so that they are able to actively participate in the process of corpse management in accordance with Islamic law. The activity was conducted on July 23, 2026, at Baiturrahman Mosque, involving 23 participants, including local women, community facilitators, and university community service students. The methods used included lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and discussions. The results showed that participants not only understood the stages of washing, shrouding, and performing the funeral prayer for the deceased, but also began to develop the confidence to attempt the practice independently. This activity serves as an initial step toward reducing the community's dependence on specific individuals while encouraging the formation of local cadres who are prepared to support the sustainability of corpse management practices in the future.
